Sevendust drummer, Morgan Rose, sparked disbandment rumors which were eventually clarified by guitarist John Connolly.
Only a few years before reaching three decades of career, Sevendust might reportedly fail to reach the mark as the members had been thinking to "call it a career."
Speaking on "The Jasta Show" on YouTube, Rose created a buzz about the band's potential split as he revealed that they had discussions about when they would finally close the curtains.
Per the drummer, they started recording a new album which would serve as a follow-up to their "Blood & Stone" in 2020.
"That might be it for a little while. We're not gonna tour the new record until next year at some point. There's not gonna be many left, I'll just tell you that. I'm gonna be the one to let all the cats out of the bag, but I can just tell you that we're not gonna be around, full-fledged, forever, that's for sure," he said.
It caused him and the host to discuss farewell tours - sparking disbandment rumors even more. Jasta told the drummer that they should extend their career for at least four years.
But according to Rose, it is difficult for him to say goodbye. He admitted that he got emotional when a similar conversation rose.
The topics, unfortunately, made fans worry that Sevendust might be the next band to leave the industry. But the band's guitarist immediately came to the rescue.
Is Sevendust Truly Disbanding?
In an interview with KNAC.com, Sevendust's guitarist John Connolly touched Rose's comments and said that they are not disbanding. Instead, they are moving "into a different model."
"I think we'll always make music in some way, shape or form or another, even if it's small doses, and I think we'll always tour - in small doses. Pick and choose those moments, not grind it out. Do it enough to where it keeps you wantin' to do it," he continued, as quoted by Loudwire.
Connolly added that age affects a band's decision to disband or not. Although getting older makes the members think about motivation and family, he assured that Sevendust would continue and try something different instead of leaving the group.
This somehow resonated with what Rose said about longevity. For the drummer, they could still do music at a respectable level regardless of their age.
"It never means that we'll never play again. Anybody that says that, it's, like, you're insulting the intelligence of the public. I mean, look, Motley Crue is getting ready to go out. They said they burned the book... I don't ever [say], 'Never, never, never. I swear to God," he went on.
